Linden Comansa was a corporation that started making tool and jig during the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mostly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and other tools for both in-house and external applications. What's more, the corporation specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist business exploded to soon become among the biggest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst other things. The company became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suited to the building methods during that specific time. The first crane model eventually grew into a range of cranes with a capacity ranging from 12 to 42 metric-tons.
Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier by the early 1970s. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to design and engineer cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the development and production of even larger and more incredible equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several specific advantages that has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa customers all around the globe. These customers all around the world have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
